Might Be A Bit Biased But- Stan's Hot, Like Cmon

Tips for writing London as a setting if you've never been there

London's a popular place to set a story! It's often imagined as sexy, cool, and suave. Whilst this is sometimes true, the thing that it predominantly is, is absolutely and entirely chaotic! So here are some aspects that you may not know about:

-Public transport is absolutely crucial to the infrastructure! Few people drive in London because of how well connected it is, and bus stops and train stations are often used as meeting points or details in directions.

-There's a LOT of crime, like, a lot. All cities have it, but London has a lot of variety. Stabbings are incredibly common (to the extent where it becomes a bit of a joke), almost everyone has a story where they've found or seen a dead body, and there are many money laundering/drug den fronts under the guise of highstreet shops (they're not well hidden).

-Despite it's chaos there's a strong code of etiquette most people hold themselves too. Some are actual rules (stand on the right side of escalators, don't queue jump) but some are simply social expectations (don't stop in the middle of the pavement, keep your bags close to your body, don't take up multiple seats.)

-A lot of tourists to the city are COMPLETELY FERAL and widely hated. They'll stand in the middle of the road, block up bridges, swing around cameras and selfie sticks in busy places, and completely ignore the social standards of polite society. People Do Not Like This. (also American tourists have a tendancy to just randomly start conversation with people? It's a bit weird and generally not done but it's not strictly a bad thing.)

-Rush hour is INSANE. We're talking almost static traffic, trains so packed that you're pressed into people on every side, buses that are so full they can't stop to let more people on. Some days it's better some days it's worse, but if you can avoid travelling at those times YOU DO.

-There are a lot of scam artists on the streets. Most major cities have these, they suck, they're aggressive, and they'll take your money! Some give you flowers and then force you to pay, some take photos of you and boost up the price to get them, there's always new ones, they're relentless, and you've gotta tell them to fuck off.

-Black cabs are not at all popular for normal people! They cater to tourists, rich people, and old people. They're great, the cab drivers are hard working and very knowledgeable, but they're also very expensive. Awful as it is, uber's cheaper if you're desperate, but buses go everywhere so it's just not really worth it.

OMG this is so cute I'm gonna cry

do you ever feel victimized by fanfic authors when you make them fanart and then they give YOU compliments and you try to give THEM compliments and its a vicious cycle??? ♥♥ ft. @nicolareed

Ever since I saw theories going around about how Prime uploaded a part of himself/his consciousness into Rick's mind when their cybernetics connected I can't stop thinking about it. If anything it's such a good concept for an angsty AU. Prime appears like a ghost to Rick, nobody else can see him nor hear him talk. Rick doesn't know how to get rid of him, he tried digging in his own head, swapping out parts of his cybernetic enhancements, but he can't figure out just HOW Prime did this and it's driving him insane. He tries to ignore him, for his own sanity, but it's impossible.

He sees Prime standing by the window as the family is having dinner. He sees him sitting on the counter of the garage, whistling to himself as Rick tries to busy his mind by tinkering with some new invention. He sees Prime lounging in the back of the ship as he takes Morty on another adventure. As much as he tries to pretend that he's not there, it's all he can think of. Prime is chatty, of course. He wants to strike conversation with Rick all the time, he offers his (very unwanted) opinions on everything Rick is doing, mocks him when things don't go right during his adventures. The family (Morty most of all) would gradually notice that something is wrong with Rick - he keeps staring at empty points in space, glaring and muttering to himself. Sometimes he flinches or jumps at seemingly nothing, and his mood is getting worse by the day.

I'm just so curious about how Rick's and Prime's interactions would go in a scenario like this - they can't hurt each other, they just have to coexist now.

I really like this- is it weird?

Those who want to see Gaster get brutalized have been a bit under-served SO One potential cause of all that screaming, anyway.

This isn’t a literal representation of what’s going on or anything, since these two are in a non-physical plane of existence at the moment. It’s just sort of a way to visualize it in understandable terms? So I wouldn’t take Gaster’s appearance or the monster thumping him around too literally.

I think I figured out what makes a soul go to either Heaven or Hell!!

In the latest episode Welcome to Heaven, we see a moment during the trial where Charlie asks Adam what he thinks it takes to get into Heaven. And he doesn’t actually seem to know. He makes a list of what he thinks got him there, but when provided evidence of a demon doing the same thing, defaults you “then why isn’t he here?”.

We realize that NONE of Heaven actually knows what gets someone to Heaven, and the characters acknowledge that angels are free to be as sinful as they want, but they still get to stay.

Which got me thinking, yeah, how did Adam get into Heaven? He’s awful. Then it hit me: he’s there because he thinks he deserves to be. Think of the demons we know. Alastor, Angel, Husker, Cherri, Valentino. These are all people who have done wrong and they know it. If you were to ask them, I think they’d tell you they deserve to be in Hell.

Isn’t it strange? That we’ve never met a demon who thinks there’s been some mistake? That they deserve to be in Heaven and they shouldn’t be in Hell? Hell should be chock full of people like that, but it isn’t.

I think it’s because if you think you deserve to be in Heaven, that’s where you go. And if you think you deserve to go to Hell? That’s where you stay. It explains why Adam is an angel-despite being a horrible person, he’s completely self righteous, even saying “I’ve never made a mistake in my fucking life.” Of course he’d think he deserves to go to Heaven! It’s how Molly went to Heaven and Angel went to hell, despite them leading similar lives-she thought she should go there.

If this is the case, then all the good deeds in the world won’t redeem a sinner. The only thing that will is repairing them and their mental state enough that they truly feel they deserve better. And I’d be fascinated to see how that goes!

Gravity falls has tons of great aus :)
